Extremadura April 2009

Extremadura houses 3 different kinds of vultures - all 3 are in this shot (left to right) 2 griffon vultures (vale gier), 2 black vultures (monniksgier) and one juvenile egyptian vulture (aasgier) sitting with its back turned to us. Remarkable how much smaller the egyptian vulture is. The other bird in the picture is a raven (raaf) - and with this, we have the most important carrion birds of Extremadura
